Subject: x86/mm: Fix vmalloc_fault to use pXd_large

From: Toshi Kani <[email protected]>

commit 18a955219bf7d9008ce480d4451b6b8bf4483a22 upstream.

Gratian Crisan reported that vmalloc_fault() crashes when CONFIG_HUGETLBFS is not set since the function inadvertently uses pXn_huge(), which always return 0 in this case. ioremap() does not depend on CONFIG_HUGETLBFS.

Fix vmalloc_fault() to call pXd_large() instead.
